You can now create customised themes to use on the forum, and allow it to be shared with other people also. The way it is at the moment you do have to enter 'hex codes' (eg. #FFFFFF for white) to enter colours. Here is a colour chart - http://html-color-codes.com/

If you don't want to create a theme you can use one that some else has created and shared. (Use a Shared Theme after you activate it).

Here's some brief instructions...

Click on Control Panel

Click Custom Theme



Click the Activate button

Set Use Custom Theme? to Yes and if you want to share your theme 'Do you want to share your custom theme with other users?' to Yes

Click Save (before editing the theme below)

Then under 'Create Your Custom Theme' entering the hex codes for colours, you can link to a background image or logo to a pic hosted at something like imageshack etc. If you want.

With icons you have to select one of the pre-existing image sets rather than create your own.

Make sure Use Custom Theme? is set to Yes

A rough guide to what colours go where...



Let me know if anything doesn't work.

The hex codes each have to have 6 letters.

Also you can only use colours and not images at the moment in Top Table Colour and Category Colour. I might change that.

Make sure Use Custom Theme? is Yes then click Save (the button underneath 'Do you want to share your custom theme with other users?')

Then select the theme under 'Use a Shared Theme' (bottom of page' and then 'Use theme'.

Anyway, 'Use Custom Theme?' has to be Yes to see other people's themes.
